Meta announced that Instagram will avoid recommending accounts featuring images of children to potentially suspicious adults. This update coincides with expanded child safety features on Meta’s platforms, in response to accusations that Facebook and Instagram facilitate a marketplace for predators. New capabilities will enhance blocking and reporting options for teenagers and increase protections for accounts showcasing children. The aim is to prevent suspected predators from accessing these accounts while maintaining that most adult-managed accounts are benign. The app will also filter comments and search visibility between adult and child-centered content.
Instagram will no longer recommend accounts that feature images of children to potentially suspicious adults. This update is part of expanding child safety features by Meta.
A lawsuit accused Facebook and Instagram of enabling a marketplace for predators seeking children, asserting that their platforms facilitated the sharing of child sexual abuse material.
Meta has introduced various online safety features for users under 18, which are now being expanded to adults frequently posting images of children.
The app will hide comments from potentially suspicious adults and make searches more difficult for accounts featuring children and those deemed suspicious.
